How Much Do Personal Trainers Make? The Shocking Truth About Personal Training Income …

Posted on 04. Oct, 2009 by Kaiser.

When I first got started as a Personal Trainer, I was excited as hell.  I heard the stories of trainers earning high incomes, charging $100 an hour, looking in shape, and doing what came easy and was fun to them. Could you imagine something more appealing than that? And call me naive, but through [...]

Posted on 09. Jun, 2009 by Kaiser.

Although I consider myself one of the hardest working guys in this business, I've been hanging-out and relaxing nearly all day in my old stomping grounds of ASTORIA QUEENS.

And hey, before you start laughing at the BRIDGE AND TUNNEL scene (this is the derogatory term NYC residents give to anything or anyone outside of Manhattan), let me tell you a little bit about ASTORIA.

This is crazy. Just eleven months ago, I remember sitting in my apartment a month and a half into my first personal training job when I stumbled across this blog for the first time.
